to isolate them from any sentence punctuation.
Use angle brackets ( < > ) to do this unambiguously, ie:

"...the Australian National Botanic Gardens web site <http://www.anbg.gov.au>

Databases

The IBIS database is a complex relational database linking the various data
associated with living plants, the herbarium collections, photographs, illustrations,
and plant names.

Various views of this data are presented on the web, each looking like a discrete
database.

This single database spans the activities of the Australian National Botanic
Gardens and the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research, jointly managed by CSIRO
and the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. As a jointly managed database
it it appropriate to refer to it as 'an Australian Government Initiative' rather
than any one Government Department.

In the case of Australial's Virtual Herbarium (AVH) and the Australian Plant Census (APC) the sponsor or source is
the Council of Heads of Australian Herbaria.

In a reference list, notes or bibliography, list the:

title of the database view

name of the complete database (ie. IBIS)

vendor

name of the sponsor of the source

date of viewing

URL

Images of herbarium specimens

For some herbarium specimen database records images of the herbarium sheet are also available for download. As the database contains records with images from two herbaria please note which institution it belongs to by referring to the ‘Herbarium’ field in the data, e.g. ‘CANB’ refers to the Australian National Herbarium and ‘K’ refers to the Kew Herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, U.K. To obtain higher quality images and permission to use them for publication contact either the Australian National Herbarium on anhsirquery@anbg.gov.au or the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew on http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/contactUs.do
